Grantland Rice, the sportswriter whose florid prose made him one of the most widely read journalists of his day, is the subject of this c1931 portrait. Rice spent decades covering baseball, boxing, and college football for newspapers and syndicates, and his 1924 column line about Notre Dame's "Four Horsemen" helped turn a football backfield into a national legend. The record is thin on the sitter's pose and setting, but the portrait dates to the peak of his fame, when radio and newsprint made sports writers into public figures in their own right.
